Talk 'N Text guard Jayson Castro won the Best Player of the Conference for the second straight Commissioner's Cup, besting Rain or Shine guard Paul Lee by a huge margin.

 

The award was announced on Wednesday night, just before the tipoff of Game Four of the finals series between the Tropang Texters and the Elasto Painters.

 

Castro led the race with a total of 1164 points, while Lee finished second with 782. San Miguel Beer center June Mar Fajardo ranked third with 542 points. 

 

GlobalPort guard Terrence Romeo came in fourth with 408 points, while Barangay Ginebra center Greg Slaughter completed the top five with 404.
